Worried about symptoms after being hospitalized for dehydration
Hi there Susan, I can't say that I know from a medical standpoint what you
are going through, but I can tell you that everything you mentioned are things that I have experienced off and on during my pregnancy and specifically towards the middle of my last trimester. From what I have read, it is fairly normal. That being said, I don't know how serious your situation is. I do know that going without enough water can seriously affect your body, especially during pregnancy. Whenever I begin to feel dizzy or nauseous, I usually go and get a drink of soy milk, and quaff back more than I would usually, after a few minutes, I feel WAY better. The signs you mentioned are also something that might be attributed to low blood sugar. I am mildly hypoglycemic and know that if I don't eat on a regular basis, all hell breaks loose with my body. During pregnancy, it hasn't been so bad, I have been a lot more aware of what I need, and faster to keep on top of it. But my advice to you is to make sure you always have something on hand to drink, a snack that is easy to digest to eat, and then that you eat regular meals with complex carbos and protein to keep you more balanced. One further thing, I know that hormones tend to change again towards the end of pregnancy, I don't really know when this starts, but it also may have an affect on how your body reacts to certain things. In the last week or two, my nausea (which I've had for the whole pregnancy, but that was tolerable for a few months) has come back in full force. I blame this on not only changing hormones but also my stress over the impending birth. One other very strange thing for me is that if I get up before I am fully rested, or I am woken up during a dream, I get horribly nauseous. So your lack of sleep may also have something to do with it. Try getting a foam topper for your bed that is meant to support according to your body's needs (like an egg carton foam). That helped me a ton in the last trimester. You could also try drinking camomile tea, or another form of mild sedative herb that is meant to take the edge off. Try to keep track of when you feel sick, or dizzy etc, and see if there are any relations to be hungry, tired or thirsty. Wow, I've written you a novel! Best of luck to you Susan, I know how miserable it is to feel this way, I've been like that for my whole pregnancy. : P Fortunately, we are both counting down the final few weeks now. Sincerely, Alicia |
